The French Man OF Business.

The French never, or very seldom, allow
them, Ives to be completely absorbed by
business. They always set apart a certain
portion of time to the amenities of life. They
are as serious as you like at work, but in
moment they will exhibit any amount of
good humor at play, and again will resume
the harness as quickly as it was thrown OFF,
If you go into shop at dinner time-I speak
now of the small provincial towns-you may
run the risk of receiving very little atten-
ton. or even none at all. remember once
it was at st. Malo in the summer-I entered
a hatter's shop at one o'clock in the after
noon. A well dressed, lady-like girl came
out of the back parlor and inquired what
wanted.

England little scene of that description

An nour later called again. The young

''My brother waited for you quite ten min

oil TO Prevent Rreakers.

1T is surprising" said an old tar, what
a small amount of oil is required to prevent
the sea from breaking over vessel. The
newspapers are speaking lately. notice, as
il the practical use Of oil to calm heavy sea
is something new, but it isn't. Why, used
it during war time, and always carried sew
eral gallons for that purpose"
What oils best for calming a sea-" was
asked?
EITHER whale or fish oil is better than kerr
osene, but all are used"
''How much oil is necessary to be effective
during storm?"
"Well, sir. I'll tell you how we used to
work it. When storm struck us we would
take lot of oakum, saturate it with whale
oil, hang it over the side Of the vessel and
let her drip. The billows in the vessels
wake, as far as the eye could reach. would
be as smooth as glass. The oil dripping
from the oakum would spread rapidly over
the surface Of the water making a smooth
place considerable wider than the vessel
which. If she lay TO, would gradually become
surrounded by the oil which prevents the
waves from breaking. the danger the most
to be apprehended. A gallon of oil thus
used, when the vessel is simply drifting. is
sufficient to protect her through storm a
week long. At sea the path Of vessel may
often be traced by the smooth places such IS
by dish water and other greasy substances
which have been thrown overheard. The
Is now becoming more general and 1t is real
ly a great safeguard"

Governor and council.

AUGUSTA, Oct 24.-The capital promises
to be entertaining and lively part, at least,
of the present week. First comes a meeting
of the Governor and Council, ordered for to-
morrow at 10 o'clock a. m, which promises
to be an interesting session according to all
accounts. AT their last session, Sept. 9th. a
petition signed by fifty citizens of Bath was
presented to the Governor and Council, ask
ing for the appointment of two special con-
stables to enforce the liquor law in Sagada-
hoe county. The petition recommended the
appointment of Mr.. James Bailey and an
other gentleman. 1t will be remembered
that two years ago the appointment of this
man was asked for by the petitioners, and
was objected to by the Mayor Of Bath, Mr..
Wakefield. A stubborn and persistent fight
ensued between the parties, and Governor
Robie and his Council refused to appoint
Bailey. 1t seems the old fight is to be re-
newed by the petitioners, asking the present
Governor and Council to appoint this same
man, Mr.. Bailey, and his friends will be in
Augusta tomorrow, and again be opposed by
the Mayor, Hon. j. w. Wakefield, who does
not oppose the appointment of constable,
but objects to this man Bailey. The ap-
pointment of two special cOnstables upon
the petition of Bangor citizens will also be

A Letter from Mrs. L. m. ~. Stevens
Respecting the Pennington Branch-

To The Editor Of the Press:
Win you kindly allow me to make a cor
rection through your columns? In dispatch,
and also an editorial notice, your readers
have been told that Pennington w. G. t. U.
had withdrawn from the state Union on ac-
count of its action at the Auburn convention
in favor Of the Prohibition party.
Mrs. Daniel Budy Of Pennington, Presi-
dent of the W. Z. 4. u. for Franklin county,
a lady Of highest respectability and intellec-
such action was from Portland papers. was
by sickness in my family kept from the meet
ing, but after seeing the Portland notice | at
once inquired, and learned that at the last
meeting of the local w. G. L. u. there were
but five members present; that the ques-
ton OF paying money as dues into the State
Union came up, and some questioned il it
would not be better to retain the money for
home work, not considering that thereby
they would be infringing upon the eonstitu-
tion of the local society. But the record Of
the meeting shows no vote was taken, and
had there been an affirmative vote 1t would
not have been at all on account Of the pOltI-
cal question, and would have been reversed
when explained by those who fully under
stand the basis Of organization Of the union"
Several members OF the union at Farming
ton have told me the same and have asked
me to try and have the public rightly inform
ed in regard to 1t. Allow me to say they
were much more troubled than /, for while |
felt sorry for Pennington, l know that mis-
understandings and secessiOns come In the
progress Of all true reforms, and / know also
that true reform ever sweeps onward in
spite Of all these things, impelled by the very
breath Of God. The W. @. L. u. in the State
and in the nation were never 50 prosperous
in numbers and influence, nor so strong in
''the faith" as today
Most respectfully yours.

Indian Troubles.

ST. PAUL. Oct. 24.-Adjutant General Vim
cent of the Department Of Dakota. says
with regard to the military preparations for
meeting the expected trouble at the Crow
Agency, Montana: ''Some forty of the tur-
bulent young Crows have been at the Tongue
River Agency with the view of inducing the
Cheyennes there to join them. but the latter
have refused to do so. A troop of cavalry
and company of infantry left Fort Keogh
at noon yesterday for the Tongue River
Agency, with the view of insuring quiet.
Three companies of infantry are held in
readiness at Fort Keogh for immediate SER
vice whenever circumstances may demand.
Three troops Of cavalry and two companies
of infantry have been ordered from Fort
Mead to Bullock's Fork for service in case Of
any extended outbreak by the Crows, and to
prevent them, should they be disposed to do
so, from breaking away in a southeasterly
direction. At Fort Custer, within eight
miles of the Crow Agency, there are five
troops of cavalry and two companies of in
fantry, also one company Of infantry imme-
diately at the agency. Gen. Ruger reached
Fort Custer at noon today"
A despatch from Billings, Montana, says
the authorizes declare that the matter will be
settled the first of the week, and fight to-
day or Tuesday seems highly probable.

POOR GARRETT.
His Big Railroad Deal Leaves Him
Crazy.

NEW YORK, Oct. pa despatch from
Baltimore today to the Times says that there
seems to be no doubt that Robert Garrett,
the dethroned president of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, is afflicted mentally. His ac-
tions since dis return to Baltimore have
more than convinced his relatives and
friends that he is in such condition. Ever
since his return his relatives and friends
have used their utmost care to keep knowl-
edge of his condition quiet, but without
avail. Whenever he was in the city he was
closely shadowed by physician which alone
gave rise to a suspicion that something was
wrong and his actions have more than con-
firmed that belief. His physician a day or
two ago admitted that Mr.. Garrett was la
boring under heavy mental strain, but he
was hopeful that rest and change of living
would restore his patient.
Yesterday morning as Mr. Garrett and his
party were about to board train at Camden
Station Sergeant-at-arms johnson, of the
common council of Philadelphia called Mr..
Garrett aside and made remark which was
not overheard. The ex-president became
very much excited and angrily ex-
claimed:
Damn it, Jay Gould has stolen my tele-
graph company" From the car platform he
shouted out, Don't let Jay Gould steal the
State of Maryland before get back"

The Peril of the Training Ship Ports
mouth.

NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 24.-Intelligence was
received here this morning that the United
States training ship Portsmouth, which left
here yesterday morning, is off Point Judith
with four anchors out. The wind is blowing
gale from the southwest directly on shore
and, if it continues, the ship can hardly
escape going ashore with large loss of life,
as the point is a dangerous one and there are
several hundred souls on board. The crews
of both Point Judith and Narragansett Pier
life saving stations are ordered to be in readi-
ness if their services are needed. Admiral
Luce has sent the Dalphin to render all possi-
BILE assistance.
NEWPORT, r. L, Oct 25.-The imperilled
schoolship was not the Portsmouth but the
Saratoga. The wind got around to the
anchors and started for New York.

respect.
